Description[]
| “ | This spell confers the powers of a lich's touch and a lich's immunities upon the caster. The wizard gains immunity to paralysis and fear while the spell is in effect, and his/her hands glow with an unearthly blue radiance that does 1d10 cold damage to a target and paralyzes them unless a Save vs. Paralysis is made. This spell has no effect on undead. | ” |
Gameplay[]
The duration of 1 round/level actually refers to the duration of "the Lich Touch" (ie the magical "fist weapon" your character wields). The duration of the hold effect itself (despite the description, it's not technically paralysis, it's a hold effect) is actually a massive 100 rounds.
